Therefore, fans can’t bear to witness her death becoming “bait” to profit from others, especially from the person who used to be the actress’s family.

In the past few days, Uong Tieu Phi is probably the most talked about character on all media fronts because of the suspicion of displaying countless tricks to take advantage of his deceased ex-wife. But up to now, the public has soberly realized that there is a name that is even more outraged in the tragic life story of Barbie Hsu, that is Truong Lan – the mother of businessman Uong Tieu Phi, the ex-mother-in-law of the actress Meteor Garden.

According to information from Sina newspaper, Truong Lan was born in 1958. She is a famous female billionaire in China, the founder of Xiaojiangnan Group. The businesswoman surnamed Zhang was once in the top 3 most successful giants in China’s culinary business. In 2010, when Uong Tieu Phi met Barbie Hsu, Truong Lan was also a businessman with a fortune valued at 2.5 billion yuan . Because he is the only son of Mrs. Zhang Lan, Uong Tieu Phi was once known as one of the “four young masters” (4 rich young masters in Beijing, China).

Because of the huge potential from her mother-in-law, Dai S suddenly became the dream of many people because she was a billionaire bride. However, her life turned in a dark direction, the actress experienced many “first deaths”, and could not even be at peace with the market of Truong Lan’s mother and daughter – Uong Tieu Phi until she died.

The mother-in-law made Barbie Hsu scared, disillusioned with the lavish life

In the 2000s, Barbie Hsu was considered the goddess of every boy’s dream, sought after by many people when Taiwanese idol films took the Asian small screen by storm. No one expected that after a dreamlike love affair with leading male gods such as Chau Du Dan, Lam Chinh Long, Dai S would “close the book” to marry a businessman from a prestigious background, peach Uong Tieu Phi in 2010 after only 4 meetings in just 20 days. Stepping into the door of a rich house, the actress’s life is like a nightmare.

She was considered by her husband’s family as a birth machine, forcing her to give birth again and again to have a grandson to follow. It is worth mentioning that Barbie Hsu’s health condition is getting worse and worse after each birth, but her husband’s family does not care about this daughter-in-law. According to her own words, in order to quickly get pregnant after the wedding day, she had to give up the habit of being vegan, taking many oriental medicines, and all at the behest of Truong Lan’s mother-in-law.

At the age of 38, Barbie Hsu gave birth to her first daughter by in vitro fertilization. 2 years later, she gave birth to her second child. It is worth mentioning that according to Dai S, the 2nd baby came naturally but made her fall into the situation of “the first death” during childbirth. The actress fell into a state of convulsions, coma due to a numbing drug allergy that almost died and temporary memory loss. Just like that, the female star’s health gradually deteriorated.

Not only losing her health and also her artistic career, Barbie Hsu also lost a lot of money because… Giant husband. In 2015, her husband’s estate was blocked, Ms. Truong Lan’s group was in danger of bankruptcy, and Uong Tieu Phi’s business fell into a loss. The Covid-29 pandemic occurred, her husband’s business became more difficult, Barbie Hsu now had to report off real estate worth more than 8.9 million USD (225 billion VND) to pay off her husband’s debts. Later, when prosecuting, Dai S threw out the debt papers, accusing Uong Tieu Phi of borrowing her 26 million TWD  from 2018 to invest in a hotel but intended to fail. By 2022, the businessman will only pay her 5 million TWD .

Despite her efforts, in the end, she was betrayed by Uong Xiaofei many times, and was beaten and despised by him when she was pregnant. After divorcing in 2021, she still couldn’t live peacefully because she was harassed by Truong Lan’s mother and daughter – Uong Tieu Phi every day, spreading false news, and constantly litigating. From here, her reputation was also seriously affected, especially in the last 3 years of her life.

Mother-in-law launched a series of shocking rumors: To Barbie Hsu set a trap and “cuckolded” Uong Tieu Phi

After the accusation from his ex-wife, Uong Tieu Phi once disturbed Barbie Hsu’s residence twice because he wanted to meet and confront, was carried to the police station for disturbing public order, and accused his ex-wife of using drugs and illegally detaining his children. However, the number of false rumors about this actress probably comes from the scandalous ex-mother-in-law Truong Lan. After the divorce, the actress was exposed to her private life secrets by Ms. Truong Lan, attacked on social networks. QQ newspaper assessed that this former billionaire was the one who helped Uong Tieu Phi’s son not lose in the media battle with his ex-daughter-in-law Barbie Hsu.

On March 29, 2024, Ms. Truong Lan livestreamed accusing Dai S of plotting tricks to hunt down a rich husband, setting a trap to marry Uong Tieu Phi after only 20 days of dating: “This is the first time I have revealed the reason why my son was in a hurry to marry Barbie Hsu. That year, she spent a lot of money on my son’s drinking friends, and then even filmed a threatening video. In order not to lose the face of his family, Uong Tieu Phi had to marry her. In the 10 years that my son lived with her, Barbie Hsu taught my family why the royal family needs to marry a bride.” The female giant Truong Lan affirmed that she had the evidence in her hands, but in the end she made an excuse that she could not make it public because it was not the right time.

Remember, according to information from Chinese media, Uong Tieu Phi and Barbie Hsu met on actress An Di Hien’s birthday in August 2015. At this time, An Di Hien and Uong Tieu Phi are said to be dating passionately, but who would have thought that the businessman would then abandon this beauty to go back and forth with Dai S. Most shockingly, after 20 days, the “grass girl” and the businessman surnamed Uong went to marriage. On the day of the wedding of her ex-boyfriend and best friend, An Di Hien was not present and said bitterly to the media: “I don’t know what my status is now: a matchmaker, an enemy or a bridesmaid?”.

By August 2024, according to newspaper 163, Ms. Truong Lan continued to criticize her ex-daughter-in-law online. This time, the most shocking thing was that she accused Barbie Hsu of having an affair behind her husband and children with 7 evidence files. And the character accused by Ms. Truong Lan of having an extramarital relationship with Barbie Hsu behind her son’s back, DJ Koo Jun Yup – the current husband of the late actor.

According to the accusation of this female giant, Barbie Hsu is said to have been secretly going back and forth with DJ Koo since early 2017, a few months after she gave birth to her first child. She also insisted that her ex-daughter-in-law often flew to South Korea even though she did not have a work schedule to have an affair, tattooed to represent a sign of love, used the family’s common fund to buy clothes for this male singer, and finally registered an illegal marriage with her mistress in Korea before completing the divorce procedure with Uong Tieu Phi.

However, Ms. Truong Lan’s accusations are only one-sided information. Most outrageously, when the audience clicked to see the content of Ms. Truong Lan’s denunciation, all the evidence of the time and place of accusing Barbie Hsu of adultery was information that this female giant listed or narrated the side story. In short, these are all narrations, there is no authentic evidence from Truong Lan’s mother and daughter. The audience also discovered that, every time the livestream sells damp goods, Ms. Truong Lan or Uong Tieu Phi will reiterate marital conflicts or make shocking accusations about their ex-daughter-in-law to attract attention.

After being slandered many times, Barbie Hsu entrusted a lawyer to file a lawsuit against Uong Tieu Phi and Ms. Zhang Lan to a court in Beijing (China) for insulting and defaming her. The defamatory livestream behavior of this giant’s mother and daughter against the late actress lasted from November 2022 until now.

Barbie Hsu died, her ex-mother-in-law also decided not to let go, decided to “suck the blood” of her late daughter-in-law

After the actress died, at around 11 p.m. on February 3, Ms. Truong Lan started the livestream at home, continued to eat and chat with the audience. The actions of this female giant here have made the public extremely outraged. And yet, on Weibo, she also posted: “No need to fan anyone, be brave yourself, let your light illuminate the road ahead.”

Although she did not directly mention Dai S, the timing of Ms. Truong Lan’s broadcast was too sensitive. The video of the actress’s ex-mother-in-law attracted more than 220,000 views in just half an hour, most of the public reacted harshly: “I didn’t expect you to be so ruthless!”, “Are you taking advantage of this to make money from views?”, “People are gone, can you let them rest in peace?”, “Scary Devil”… Besides, there are also opinions defending the female giant because they think that this clip is just a coincidence. Silent for 1 day in the midst of a storm of public opinion, Ms. Truong Lan took to social media to express her condolences to her ex-daughter-in-law, declaring her readiness to help take care of the aftermath, and also telling her biological mother to stay healthy.

The incident became more complicated when information about the disease, the cause of Barbie Hsu’s death became turbulent because of too many sources. In the midst of this, the media of the country of billions of people stirred up rumors from social media that Uong Tieu Phi paid for herself to rent a private plane to bring the ashes of the ill-fated actress to Taiwan (China). Who would have expected, Ms. Truong Lan clicked “like” the above article, spreading the rumor. After all, this is fake information. And then, Ms. Truong Lan and Uong Tieu Phi had to pay the price for this series of bewildering moves.

On February 8, the Douyin Security Center (TikTok in China) issued a notice to deter profiteering accounts, reporting false news, and promoting false information to take advantage of Barbie Hsu’s death. This unit has taken strong measures, indefinitely banning accounts with the above signs, including the accounts of Ms. Truong Lan and Uong Tieu Phi for profiteering on the deceased, seriously violating ethical standards and community order. However, Truong Lan still circumvented the law, using the team account to return to livestream.

ET Today also released information about a social media account named Emmy Drama Time accusing Uong Tieu Phi’s mother and daughter of “sucking blood” Barbie Hsu because of a huge debt. According to the denunciation, Uong Tieu Phi and Ms. Truong Lan are said to be in debt of up to 4.5 billion TWD, doing illegal business, laundering money, setting up a trust fund in Taiwan (China) in the name of relatives to hide the illicit cash flow earned and appropriating the above money. In the face of the accusation that caused a stir in Chinese public opinion, Uong Tieu Phi’s mother and daughter have not responded. The unusual silence of the businessman’s family made the public believe more in the accusation of the Emmy Drama Time.
